I painted my windscreen the other day as a quick, easy, cheap mod.
IMHO i think that this mod was easier then the sticker removal mod. In total i think i took a total of about 45 minutes. I used Krylon Fusion black spray paint. Also i sprayed the back of the screen so its still possible to polish the outside for a nice shine.
First i removed the screen washed it with dish soap and water, let it dry in the sun then whiped it down with a rag.
Then i used masking tape to tape off the edges so i would get a nice crisp edge. I also taped the whole front of the screen so i didnt get any overspray.( i was probably being too careful)
I then sprayed multiply light coats of black to the inside of the screen. Waiting about one minute inbetween coats as recomended on the paint can. After i achieved the disired level of black i was looking for i went inside and ate a sandwich while i waited for the paint to dry.
The directions say to wait 15 minutes for the paint to dry i gave it about 25 just to be sure. Then i removed all the tape and remounted the screen and just enjoyed the new look.
Personally i dont think there is a better mod for less than $10
